What are Moment Cards?
Cards That Enhance Skills and Abilities
Moment cards are new player cards added in the v2.09.00 update implemented on January 23rd. Compared to other cards, they allow for efficient skill selection and potential ability enhancement, making them especially recommended for beginners who are just starting the game.
| Note! | Players with increased abilities or expanded hot zones are also recommended for advanced players. |
Selected by Theme Without Year Notation
Unlike other cards, Moment cards do not have a concept of year notation. Instead of year notation, players who have recorded excellent results in specific records such as home runs, stolen bases, strikeouts, and ERA are selected.

Moment or Signature: Which to Prioritize?
Prioritize Moment if OVR is High
Generally, it is recommended to prioritize Signature cards, as their abilities and deck scores become higher when fully trained. However, if a Moment card has a higher initial OVR than a Signature card, prioritizing its training is also an option.
Prioritizing Moment Early is Also Optional
Moment cards make it easier to select skills and unlock potential abilities, so they are easier to train and can be active as immediate assets, especially in the early game. If you don't have Signature or Prime cards, it's recommended to prioritize acquiring and training Moment cards to quickly strengthen your team.
Addition of Synergy
A system has been added where batter OVR +1 is applied by organizing 3 Moment or FA Signature cards. If you are aiming for synergy, actively incorporate Moment cards.
Features of Moment Cards

- - Can unlock additional Potential Abilities

Can Acquire Exclusive Moment Tier Skills
Moment cards can acquire exclusive Moment Tier Skills corresponding to each theme. Exclusive Moment Tier Skills appear in the first skill slot with a certain probability when using a Premium Skill Change Ticket.
Excellent Points of Moment Tier Skills
| Features of Moment Tier Skills |
| - Excellent skill performance (skill performance varies depending on the theme) - Only this skill can be skill-locked, similar to Prime cards |
When a Moment Tier Skill is acquired, the lock function becomes active for the first skill slot. While the performance of Moment Tier Skills isn't the absolute strongest, the ability to lock the skill, just like with Prime cards, is excellent as it allows for efficient selection of other slots.
Skill Level Protection Effect is Always on
When changing skills on Moment cards, the skill level protection function is always applied, so the skill level will not decrease. This saves Skill Level Protection Tickets, so actively change skills.
Can Unlock Additional Potential Abilities
The potential abilities of Moment cards can be additionally unlocked for each theme during Transcendence. It is easier to unlock the upper limit of potential abilities than with other cards, allowing you to train players who are effective during manual operation.
Deck Score Can Be Increased Up to 24
The initial deck score for Moment cards is 14. Moment cards can be specially trained up to level 5, so the deck score can be increased up to 24.
Same Player Growth Succession Possible
Growth succession can be performed between Moment cards of the same player. However, note that skills and potential abilities cannot be carried over.
Materials Required for Growth Succession
| Materials | - Special Growth Succession Ticket x30 - Points x3,000,000 |

How to Obtain Moment Cards
Obtain from Pickup Scout
Moment cards can be obtained from the Moment Pickup Scout. The players available differ depending on the ongoing Pickup Scout, so if your desired player is featured, actively consider scouting.
Obtain from Permanent Moment Scout
Moment cards can also be obtained from the permanent Moment Scout. You can get a Club Select Moment Card as a cumulative reward after 100 scouts, so aim for the pity limit if possible.

Packs containing Moment cards can be obtained at the Home Run Shop. Play Ranking Slugger diligently to save up Ranking Coins and get Moment Packs.
Can be Crafted at the Workshop
Since Ver.3.00, Club Select Moment Packs can be crafted at the Workshop. They can be crafted with 5 Moment cards (can be from other clubs) + 10,000 Ranking Coins, so it's a good idea to use them when you have accumulated unwanted Moment cards.
